Perhaps I just don't know what I am doing with it but at this point it is nothing to me but an overpriced power amp.

Old meaning which year? If it's a "First 500" Rectifier, they ****ing rule the planet. Anything after that and up until their recent reissue, is buzzy, nasty dogshit, IMO.
Around 1995 or so, Randall Smith decided to replace a $20 part with a $2 dollar part. The amps never sounded the same after that. Unrecordable, unlistenable, buzzy, nasty - can I tell I don't like them?
